West Indies predicted playing XI for 2nd ODI vs India

Shai Hope's side looks to bounce back at Guwahati after losing the series opener.

West Indies face India in the 2nd ODI at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, on Wednesday, September 30. The series is already slipping away for the visitors after India won the first encounter by 8 wickets at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.

West Indies captain Shai Hope will look to steady the ship with a similar batting unit that managed 295 for 7 in the opening match. Despite a solid start, the Windies lost their way in the middle overs, eventually finishing with a total that was significantly below par.

Here is West Indies' predicted playing XI for 2nd ODI vs India:

Top order: John Campbell, Justin Greaves, Keacy Carty

John Campbell and Justin Greaves provided a solid foundation in the series opener, and their retention in the top order suggests West Indies will persist with this combination. The opening partnership of 135 runs proved effective despite the team's eventual loss, offering Hope's side a platform to build larger totals. Greaves will also be looking to build on his maiden ODI century.

Keacy Carty, who has been the team's anchor at one-drop, was found wanting, having struggled to score big runs and will be looking to make amends in the second game in Guwahati.
